I would welcome that fight.

Maybe Ortiz to fight a guy mike Jessie Vargas or mean machine first.

Did somebody mentioned TBC? Vergil needs his Andre Berto, before the BEST IN THE WORLD takes him too school on PPV, like Floyd did Victor Ortiz.

That's how you boost your fighter's morale even if it's not true.
As opposed to "you're not ready yet for prime time."
Floyd telling Tank he's not ready for Lomachenko, for example.
Just imagine you're the fighter and your manager telling you that.

That cannot be good for the confidence of any boxer.

No, chance Crawford takes this fight right now.

I thought Virgil Ortiz is with MTK global

Crawford is smart enough to shoot for the other 147 belt Pacquiao has. Crawford also would gain worldwide superstar status when he beats Pac.
Ortiz can fight Porter to test himself.
